if you have aftermarket lights hooked up to the dash light it has been known to smoke the rheostat that controls the dimmer. I would also check the other fuses, sometimes the cluster refers to the guages themselves and not the lights that illuminate them

there are 2 large terminal plugs with the wiring for all the instruments that are plugged into the back of that panel. make sure they are snug and in place. You reach in and under but it may easier to "simply" remove the cluster. 4 screws hold it in place accessible form underneath and with a long phillips screwdriver and lighting.

Check the fuse box for the headlight switch. Possibly a relay problem or a burnt connection. Depending on the make and model of your vehicle check the contacts inside your headlight, interior and dash light switch (that is all one) and put some electrical grease in there so it make a good contact.

The headlight switch controls the lights on the dash. If all of your dashboard lights went out, depending on the vehicle, the instrument panel backlighting can be on a separate fuse from the rest of the interior lighting. In most cases, though, anything that can be dimmed using the interior light dimmer will be on a single fuse. So, if by "dashboard lights" you mean all of the backlighting for all of the interior controls (instrument panel, heat/air controls)are out, then go straight to the interior fuse box in the car. If, on the other hand, it is JUST the instrument panel lights that are out (ie. the interior dimmer still causes the other lights in the interior to dim and brighten as you adjust it), then it indicates either a broken wire to the instrument panel (that wire being part of a wire bundle, so low probability), or a loose connection on the instrument panel. Again, depending on the vehicle, there are usually more than a single light source in an instrument panel meaning that if a bulb were burnt out inside the panel, the rest would still light.

After diagnostic code display ends, instrument cluster will go into each of the following tests in order: Dim test. Calibration test. Odometer segment test. Electronic Transmission Range indicator segment test. Dim Test CHEC-0 will be displayed in odometer window. Instrument cluster will dim Vacuum Florescent (VF) display. If VF displays do not dim, a problem in instrument cluster exists. See BODY CONTROL COMPUTER TESTS in BODY CONTROL COMPUTER article. Calibration Test CHEC-1 will be displayed in odometer window. Each of instrument cluster gauges will move sequentially through each calibration point. See GAUGE CALIBRATIONS table. If gauge needle is not calibrated properly, a problem in instrument cluster exists.Odometer Segment Test CHEC-2 will be displayed in odometer window. Each segment of odometer will light sequentially. If any segment does not light, replace instrument cluster. Electronic Transmission Range Indicator Segment Test CHEC-3 will be displayed in odometer window. Each segment of electronic transmission range indicator will light sequentially. If any segment does not light, replace instrument cluster.
